The Chicago suburbs changed, and there aren’t enough downstaters to move it back.

Is Illinois ready to abandon Democrats? Miracles do happen.

It is so corrupt, I doubt Trump can win it. BUT I did have two friends just move back to Illinois, so who knows.

If Trump can double the votes from black Americans that he got in 2016, which is within the realm of possibility, Trump can will Illinois.

I think highly unlikely but a better chance than CA, OR or WA

That should read ‘two TRUMPER friends’.

The last time IL went GOP was 1988

Sorry, but IL needs a good hard financial crisis and insolvency. Its a one-party state, with that one party controlling the vast bureaucracy and its spending to keep itself in power. Like the Soviet Union, only financial collapse will change its politics.

I’ll believe it when the President has an Illinois rally.

Excommunicate Chicago & Suburbs and it becomes a slam dunk

Nope. The public unions and female suburbanites swung heavily away from Trump.

There is no apparent black conservative voice in the state.

Goober Prickster vowed to have the state become the epicenter of the Resistance Movement.

Trump's DoJ has not yet made moves against the state for the rabid embrace of Sanctuary State status and resistance against ICE.

Trump never comes to Chicago. The State is lost.

There is no Republican leadership and previous Republican leadership helped get Prickster elected. The RNC couldn't tell me who is running in the Senate primary against Little Duck Turban.

Can Trump carry Ill-Annoy? Sure. Maybe....

Sorry but no. He will be lucky to win DuPage county these days. It’s unrecognizable from 10 years ago.

No chance. Too many liberals. There is a sliver of hope if Bernie gets the nod, but I doubt it.

I’m afraid there may not be enough intelligent people left in Illinois to turn it. If my business wasn’t there I’d be long gone.

The only chance would be if Bernie is cheated out of the nomination again and runs as a third-party candidate. I doubt he would do that. Barring something like that it is probably a very safe state for the ‘Rats in November 2020.

Having lived with Chitown's dominance for most of my life, it seems unlikely, but DJT ain't your run of the mill President, either.

I do believe, however, changes in states like Illinois, NJ, and the rust belt will nicely swing the popular vote to our side, which shuts the commies pie holes.

No. Bit Minnesota might be.

I doubt it but if it happened, you'd be able to watch morning joe and his ho, commit suicide on TV at 7:30 AM, the morning following the election.

I'd stay semi-high for a week, without using any chemicals including alcohol, weed, coke or legal prescription drugs.

Just watching the msm would put me on cloud nine and I could float like I was on a magic carpet.

Did you see the poll showing Trump within margin of error in Delaware?

Every state but CA is in play this year.

I’m sure someone is crunching the numbers for all 50 states. Trump targeting a seemingly “ungettable” state (I would rather see California be pursued) would be a yuuge signal to the country (and the republican party establishment in particular) that conservatism can win all over the country, not just eke out an apologetic narrow victory every so often.

There might be some Republicans left in Illinois but there is no Republican party in Illinois
